Differences between gender and MEDAS groups were assessed by Pearson's χ2 test. Associated effect sizes (Cramer's V) and p-values are reported. Significant p-values (<0.05) are italicized.
The four respondents who did not identify as either male or female (cf., Table 1) are not included in this analysis.
